The Michigan Daily-Sunday, Octobe Two 'U' profs predict r 5, 1980-Page 3 Carter will win 'squeaker' w By NANCY RUCKER Recent national, polls show Ronald R'eagan is ahead in the presidential rice,, but two University political ex- prts predict President Carter will win. Center for Political Studies Director Warr'en Miller said he "will be sur- prised if Jimmy. Carter isn't reelec- ted.' HIS COLLEAGUE and assistant research scientist at the center, Michael Traugott, said he "expects Carter will pull out in the end." Both men participated in the panel discussion "Perspectives on the Presidential Election" Friday during the University Press Club of Michigan annual meeting. More than two dozen members met at the Campus Inn Friday and yesterday. Traugott and Miller, who are also Oniversity political science professors, *acknowledge it will be a close race. "Carter will come through with a squeaker," Miller said.. ONE INDICATION of Carter's poten- tial victory is something Traugott calls an "unobtrusive indicator," which is based on the unemployment rate and Consumer Price Index. On Friday it was announced that the September unemployment rate was 7.5 percent, the lowest it has been since April. Traugott said when these figures go down "and bring the Democrats to vote for Carter, it hurts Reagan." Carter's margin of victory will remain the same, he said, but his probability of winning increases "as these indications get bet- ter.'" Traugott said we are seeing "a classic example of hardline party cam- paigns." The Republicans cannot win the election without support of Democrats and Independents, he said, and thus "conversion" forms the basis of their campaign.

Traugott said Carter's interest in head-on debates with Reagan is "to maximize traditional differences" between the two major parties. "More and more, you'll see the mobilization and conversion themes played out, particularly in adver- tising," Traugott said.' Although many Carter supporters fear the strength of independent can- didate John Anderson, Miller doubts whether Anderson will carry even one state and believes he will receive less than seven percent of the vote. "THE ROLE OF Anderson will be and has been pretty minimal," said Miller. As more Republicans turn to Reagan's "homogenity and ideological strength," Miller explained, Ander- son's strength will decline. See TWO, Page 7 Felines find fame at county cat show By MARYEM RAFANI Morris would have been jealous. Some of the cats at the Mid-Michigan Cat Fanciers' Cat Show are even more finicky than he. The cats weren't saying much yesterday, but the owners explained how they'prepared their feline friends for the weekend competitions at the Ann Arbor County Fairgrounds. Apparently, some of the assorted Tabbies and Tigers are on special diets and others have their own air- conditioned rooms. "EACH CAT HAS its own per- sonality," said one cat owner. "My cat wanders around the house talking all the time." Approximately 160 cats representing a wide variety of longhair, shorthair, exotic and domestic breeds are vying for honors at the show, which drew almost 1,000 human spectators yester- day. "I enjoy the kittens and the com- petition involved. If anybody asked why I did it, I'd probably say it's because I'm crazy. It's a lot of work," a feline fan at the show said yesterday.. "I like cats. I like the challenge in- volved in trying to breed a top Himalayan (a breed of cat)," said a woman showing her cats. "I had to do a lot of self-educating, reading books, talking to people, talking to vets," she added. THE JUDGES have to be in prime condition, too. According to Denise Dixon, one of the show's organizers, each of four judges rates each cat's eyes, fur, and color ac- cording to set standards. After the judges points are tallied first and second place ribbons are awarded to the winners. "There is a whole training process that the judges have to go through," Dixon said. In addition to attending a judge's training school, all judges are required to have bred cats and have won at least one grand championship. The judges are contracted for each show from the national Cat Fanciers' Association. Cats that are household pets are also being displayed. These cats are typically of the "fat and happy" variety since they are not seeking champion- ship points. Proceeds from the show go to Feline Research at Michigan State University, Dixon said. "There are still a few diseases running rampant in cats and the researchers in Lansing are trying to find vaccines for them," she said.
